Funding ‘13A’ Share Plans

SCARRABELOTTI recommends remuneration funding as the most effective method of financing Division 13A Exempt and Deferred share plans.

Remuneration funding means that the employee sacrifices a portion of salary, bonus, or profit share. These funds are then re-allocated by the employer to the share plan which acquires ordinary shares in the employer’s company on behalf of the employee.

… Employer benefits

Remuneration funding means that the sacrificed salary (bonus or profit share) is allocated to the share plan on a pre-tax basis. In other words, by investing pre-tax dollars in the ESOP, employees acquire (depending on their marginal tax rate) up to twice the number of shares they could have purchased using post-tax savings.

Remuneration funding means, for the employer, a tax deduction to the company for every dollar contributed to the ESOP.  A contribution to the ESOP is just like a contribution to wages or superannuation, and as such is a tax-deductible cost of running the business.
